Marvel S Guardians Of The Galaxy Is The Most Surprising Game Of 2021

In a year that’s been partially defined by surprising video games and surprising video game news (both good and bad), it’s truly telling that Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy has to be the most surprising game of the year. When we talk about surprising video games, we typically talk about indie titles that come out of nowhere and blow us all away. Well, Guardians of the Galaxy may be the opposite of that type of game in so many ways, but in terms of expectations vs....

Marvel S Loki Reveals How The Universe Craves Chaos

This article contains spoilers for Loki episode 4.

The Time Variance Authority (TVA) is tasked with maintaining the sanctity of the Sacred Timeline and yet everywhere they turn there’s another Variant popping up to threaten it. If the Sacred Timeline is so sacred then why does it also seem so intent on destroying itself?...

Marvel Very Specific About Dr Strange Design In Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3

When you put the time and effort into creating something, you tend to be very protective of it - This is to be expected. After all, it’s your creation, your idea made into reality. No one will understand it as well as you do. It’s for this reason why crossovers in gaming are so rare, because it requires one company trusting their creation- their intellectual property - in the hands of another company, and there are many different ways that can be unsettling and potentially harmful....

Mass Effect 10 Things Worse Than The Reapers

In many ways, the Reapers are the linchpin that holds the entire original Mass Effect trilogy together.

Mass Effect Andromeda All Of The Pistols Ranked

For gamers who haven’t played Mass Effect Andromeda yet, now is as good a time as any. The game has settled in at under $30, but even this price disappears with EA Play subscribers who get the game as part of the package. And now given that Xbox Game Pass is doing business with EA, the game might even appear on that subscription before too long. But players that wait too long might watch the price go up again as demand increases before the release of the next big Mass Effect installment....

While the prospect of Judgment’s VIP Season Pass will be alluring to many fans, there’s something much more affordable about the concept of free content....

Microsoft Starts Announcing Xbox Series Digital Launch Events

Time is inching closer and closer to the release of the next generation of consoles, the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5, and both Microsoft and Sony have been taking advantage of hands-on previews to help further advertise them and encourage potential buyers to invest in them. One lucky NYC first responder even had the opportunity to try out an Xbox Series X for himself. Usually, the launch of a new console would be accompanied by big launch parties all around the world but, with the coronavirus pandemic very much discouraging large public gatherings and already responsible for the cancellation of a number of events, any potential launch parties seem like an impossibility....

Despite the outpouring of support from fans for a sequel to Kid Icarus: Uprising, the game’s director Masahiro Sakurai has said that it would be difficult to bring Pit back. The Kid Icarus series has remained missing for almost a decade, while other franchises have thrived on the Nintendo Switch. “We have received many requests for sequels and remakes, but it will be difficult,” Sakurai said on Twitter (over a rough translation), “The new design of Pit is a spin-off of the one made with ‘Smash Bros....

Knockout City Preview Dodgeball But Make It Psychological Warfare

There are exactly two kinds of dodgeball. When I was a kid, my P.E. teacher Mr. Swanson would set up a row of cones that divided the gym in half, then split the class into two teams. He’d then dump out a Rubbermaid container full of multicolored squishy balls and command us to throw them at each other. Our baby arms would sail the foam-filled “dodge balls” back and forth across the centerline until everyone either got hit, or more commonly, caught the balls, thus knocking out the thrower....
